Mary McClymont Fund

The MARY McCLYMONT Fund

Purpose
The Mary McClymont Fund was established in recognition of Mary McClymont’s contribution to community nursing research and education. Mary had particular interests around community nursing in Africa and health visiting for older people. One of her major contribution was to the council for Education and Training of Health Visitors (CETHV) and in particular to the Principles of Health Visiting which have remained largely unchanged since 1977. To reflect this, ICCHNR is offering a limited number of small bursaries up to a maximum of £500 to enable community nurses to either:

Applicants may apply for fields of study or presentation in categories outside of older people’s health, across all fields of health promotion

The total grant is a maximum of £500 per person. Two awards will be made on merit. The Trustee’s decisions will be final.

Successful applicants will be informed by email by 12thApril 2019.
